Murmuration is a minimalist timer for the your meditation needs. It is extremely easy to use, very intuitive and most importantly doesn’t add the additional burden of setting a timer and dealing with clunky interfaces. The app is based entirely on gestures and almost everything you do is with a swipe, a pinch or a drag. Moving from screen to screen can be done simply by swiping and setting a time for your timer is as easy as swiping up and down. It is by far the fastest way to set a timer. Swipe up to set the time, and swipe left to get started. That’s it. Off you go into your meditation mode. After the time is up, a bell will sound and you can go on with your life and do what you have to do.

Overall, Murmuration proved to be extremely user friendly, with a quick tips page around every corner, you’ll be up and running with the gestures in no time.
